USA, the land of seemingly unlimited guns yet none of you will do anything about the dictatorship that is happening before your eyes.

Remember how America has the largest military on the planet, and how even our local police forces are armed with machines of war and mass destruction. Yeah, every single one of those guys works for the dictator so forgive me if I don’t go John Fucking Rambo on the White House with a repeater I bought at Walmart.

We’re showing up to protests by the millions, we’re using our voices, we’re pressuring elected leaders to stand up and fight back, we’re fucking trying to stop this shit, so honestly fuck off with this sort of reductive armchair general critiquing.

This guy went against a column of tanks with two bags of groceries.

Americans can't get organised to march with their guns to see how far the military will defend the dictatorship, when you make it hard for them.

So for years we've been right about the 2A, completely useless and only there to feed the military-industrial machine, weak egos and gang violence.

Yeah and he died. Get off your fucking high horse and stop pressuring people to commit suicide in the name of what you think is right.

Honest question and I don't want to antagonise: If it came to it, what would you give your life for?
